Atalanta’s Scudetto hopes took another hit as they fell to a disappointing 1-0 defeat away to Fiorentina.
Moise Kean’s solitary goal proved to be the difference, boosting Fiorentina’s slim chances of securing a European spot.
The match was marked by key absences, with Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini serving a touchline ban and several first-team players sidelined. Fiorentina, fresh from a dominant 3-0 win over Juventus, capitalized on Atalanta’s weakened state.

Kean struck the decisive blow, intercepting Isak Hien’s poor touch near the halfway line and sprinting forward to fire a precise finish past Marco Carnesecchi.
Atalanta pushed hard for an equalizer, with Ademola Lookman, Charles De Ketelaere, and Mateo Retegui all testing the Fiorentina defense.

However, Luca Ranieri and goalkeeper Pietro Terracciano stood firm, denying several close chances. Fiorentina had opportunities to extend their lead, but Lucas Beltrán squandered a golden chance, and their single goal ultimately proved enough.
The defeat marked Atalanta’s first away loss in Serie A in seven months, while Fiorentina gained crucial points in their push for European qualification.
